I watched a Malloy walkoff against Boston repeat last night. He was interviewed and said they use 26 players for 27 outs. He was deflecting credit for his winning hit against Chapman. But that's this team, totally gritty. Grinders.
If he was the pitcher who pitched most effectively, he's eligible. It's all up to an official scorer. The same idiot who rules it a hit when a defender drops an easy pop-up. 😅
